    The fact that Jim Carrey released The Mask, Ace Ventura AND Dumb and Dumber in the same year is absolutely insane. It's more success than most people's entire careers! Cameron Diaz looks amazing in her first appearance on screen.

    Cameron Diaz was 19 at the time this movie was filmed.
    Yeah, Peter Greene tends to play villains. It's that face of his; he has sleazy eyes. It's funny because he's actually a pretty nice guy.
    This movie has the best soundtrack album ever.

      An actor who has "villain face" to me is Hugo Weaving. It doesn't matter how many times I've seen The Lord of the Rings, I still can't see him and not think he's plotting something malicious.

    "Ooh, somebody stop me!"
    Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Cameron Diaz.
    Music Enthusiast Fact: The producers hated the "Cuban Pete" musical number and wanted it gone. They insisted that it was too long, not funny and dragged, but test audiences loved it so much that they kept it in.
    Lost In Adaptation Fact: Based on a Dark Horse comic book series of the same name, which frequently comprised very dark horror stories on how the mask would murder people with cartoon antics. Chuck Russell has said that the movie script started off in that tone before being transformed as a vehicle for Jim Carrey's unique comedy.
    Live Action Cartoon Fact: Chuck Russell revealed that a lot of money was saved on special effects after Jim Carrey was cast. Carrey's body movements were so flexible and cartoonish, they didn't see the need to enhance them digitally. As befits Stanley's obsession with cartoons, The Mask acts like various cartoon characters, most notably the Tasmanian Devil (traveling as a tornado), Pepe Le Pew (romancing Tina (Cameron Diaz) in the park), Bugs Bunny ("dying" in the gangster's arms), and Tex Avery's Wolf (seeing Tina in the nightclub).
    Automobile Enthusiast Fact: Charlie's (Richard Jeni) car is a 1970 Cadillac DeVille Convertible [68367F]. Eddie's (Denis Forest) car is a 1990 Lincoln Continental. Kelloway's (Peter Riegert) car is a 1986 Ford LTD Crown Victoria. The loaner car from the mechanic is a Studebaker. Two different models are used: the car that Stanley (Jim Carrey) picks it up is a Studebaker Commander State 4-door sedan (1951) and in the bridge scene the car that falls apart is a Studebaker Land Cruiser (1950); the difference is noticeable in the bullet nose fitting and the grille.

    That's correct Mr valentine the mask is Cameron Diaz debut movie. Jim Carrey's 2nd film

      Ace Ventura was Carrey's 12th movie. Earth Girls Are Easy, The Dead Pool (Dirty Harry movie), and Peggy Sue Got Married were above average popularity. And of course he rose to fame with his 125 episodes of In Living Color from 1990-1994. But 1994 was certainly a HUGE year for him.

    The Mask is a classic...and it was great to see your reaction to all the craziness.
    If you have never seen it, you should react to Joe vs The Volcano, with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan...I think it will give you a whole new look at their respective acting abilities.

    @CraigKostelecky. Yes 1994 was Jim Carrey's year for all 3 films. But. Jim was on the independent movie/ tv circuit because he was just in the beginning of his career status when in the 1980/90s

    You have good taste. This film was the highest grossing independent comic book film (Dark Horse Comics) for the longest time until Deadpool came out. He has toon power, which basically allows him to do anything that he wants. Jim Carrey was known as the man with the rubber face, so this fit him perfectly.
